The Concord Center strongly believes in the importance of serving our community, and that mental health resources should be widely available. We strive to bring our psychological expertise to support administrators and educators in implementing evidence-based practices in their schools to meet the standards established by the Massachusetts Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) and the Comprehensive Health and Physical Education (CHPE) Framework.

Our catalog of programming and workshops can be found here.

The catalog is intended to provide an overview of examples of specific programs that we offer when collaborating with schools. However, our school-based services extend beyond workshops and presentations for students and professionals. Below is a more extensive list of our offerings.

  1. Single presentations/series on a variety of topics (autism, specific mental disorders, coping skills for the classroom) and evidence-based interventions (e.g., DBT, Unified Protocol, SPACE), which can be tailored to address specific roles (e.g., parents, students, teachers, aides/paraprofessionals, counselors, psychologists, social workers, school nurses, etc.).
  2. Individual or group consultation to assess and solve problems related to students with complex profiles or challenging behaviors. This may include classroom observations by a nationally certified school psychologist followed by teacher consultation regarding classroom management strategies and/or problem-solving related to individual students’ learning and behavioral challenges.
  3. Individual or group training and supervision to help school staff integrate evidence-based practices into their service delivery (e.g., DBT, CBT, UP).
  4. Comprehensive support in developing Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) to promote social emotional learning (SEL). This can include:
    • Consultation to administrators in developing school-wide screening protocols.
    • In-service training for all staff delivering Tier 1 interventions.
    • Group and individual coaching for counselors delivering Tier 2 & 3 interventions.
    • Small group training for educational support staff and nurses.
    • Consultation to administrators/counselors in developing progress-monitoring systems.
    • “Training the Trainers” Mentorship – coaching school leadership so they can independently monitor programs developed with TCC and coordinate ongoing training opportunities for their staff over time.
  5. On-site service delivery in collaboration with school counselors (in vivo training for school staff interested in using evidence-based interventions in their counseling groups or lunch bunches)
  6. Consultation to staff and student groups to develop peer-to-peer psychoeducation programs.
